18°C, humid

I felt very sorry for John Hogan who jumped off an upper floor of a hotel with his children when it was featured on the news yesterday.

The BBC broadcast footage of him so distraught that he had to be carried into the courtroom on a chair. No doubt the gutter press will attack hime like a pack of wolves, but then they would.

He’s going to be in agony every time he remembers what happened and how it turned out, a far greater punishment that anything the Cretian legal  system could mete out.  I can only see one outcome that could retain any honour; he ought to now commit suicide.
